I learnt this from one of my ex-boss.
Everybody was busy working in the office. You can say the environment was a bit tense and stressful.
All of a sudden, he got up from his desk, picked up a waste paper basket, put it at the middle of the walk way, crumpled 2 pieces of rough paper to make into 2 paper ball, and called out to everybody to gather around him.
He said, “Come everybody, let’s take a break and have some fun.” He then threw one of those ball-shaped crumpled paper and threw it across the office into into the waste paper basket he placed earlier, and missed.
He then said, “Who wants to try next?” Most of us sporty ones took turn to throw for the next 10 minutes or so.
We laughed. We cheered. Some of us even sweated! most importantly, it reduced the tension in the air.
Then, everybody went back to work smiling.
If you are in the office, should give it a try. It’s a game can social distance anyways. Just randomly take a break, play a silly game and see how it could make a difference.
